SAFETY
CAUTION
Disconnect electric and/or hydraulic power
and tag out if required before servicing or
performing maintenance.
NOTE: Lubricate grease ttings after each use.
Use a good quality multipurpose grease.
FUSES
The electrical system contains several blade-style
automotive fuses. If a problem should occur and
fuse replacement is necessary, the replacement fuse
must be of the same type and amperage rating as
the original. Installing a fuse with a higher rating can
damage the system and could start a re.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave unused material in
hopper. Material can freeze or solidify,
causing unit to not work properly.
Empty and clean after each use.
CAUTION
• Do not operate a spreader in need of
maintenance.
• Before operating the spreader, reassemble
any parts or hardware removed for cleaning
or adjusting.
• Before operating the spreader, remove
materials such as cleaning rags, brushes,
and hand tools from the spreader.
• Before operating the spreader, read the
engine owner's manual, if so equipped.
• While operating the spreader, use auxiliary
warning lights, except when prohibited by law.
• Tighten all fasteners according to the
Torque Chart. Refer to Torque Chart for the
recommended torque values.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper installation and operation could cause
personal injury and/or equipment and property
damage. Read and understand labels and the
Owner's Manual before installing, operating, or
making adjustments.
WARNING
• Driver to keep bystanders minimum of
25 feet away from operating spreader.
• Before working with the spreader, secure all
loose-tting clothing and unrestrained hair.
• Before operating the spreader, verify that all
safety guards are in place.
• Before servicing the spreader, wait for
conveyor, auger, and spinner to stop.
• Do not climb into or ride on spreader.
WARNING
Do not install the control for this product in
the deployment path of an air bag. Refer to
vehicle manufacturer's manual for air bag
deployment area(s).
CAUTION
If rear directional, CHMSL light, or brake
stoplights are obstructed by the spreader, the
lights shall be relocated, or auxiliary directional
or brake stoplights shall be installed.
WARNING
Overloading could result in an
accident or damage. Do not exceed
GVWR or GAWR ratings as found
on the driver-side vehicle door
cornerpost. See Loading section to determine
maximum volumes of spreading material.
Lit. No. 96491, Rev. 02 4 May 15, 2017
VENTILATION
BATTERY SAFETY
NOISE
Airborne noise emission during use is below 70 dB(A)
for the spreader operator.
VIBRATION
Operating spreader vibration does not exceed 2.5 m/s2
to the hand-arm or 0.5 m/s2 to the whole body.
SAFETY
CAUTION
Batteries normally produce explosive gases
which can cause personal injury. Therefore,
do not allow ames, sparks, or lit tobacco
to come near the battery. When charging or
working near a battery, always cover your
face and protect your eyes, and also provide
ventilation.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which burns
skin, eyes, and clothing.
• Disconnect the battery before removing or
replacing any electrical components.
WARNING
Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes.
Breathing these fumes, even in low
concentrations, can cause death. Never
operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without
venting exhaust to the outside.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Remove ignition key and put the vehicle in park or
in gear to prevent others from starting the vehicle
during installation or service.
• Wear only snug-tting clothing while working on
your vehicle or spreader.
• Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure long
hair.
• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from
battery acid, gasoline, dirt, and dust.
• Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine,
radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.
• Always have a re extinguisher rated BC handy,
for ammable liquids and electrical res.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline
to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away
from sources of heat or ame.
CELL PHONES
A driver's rst responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. The most important thing you can do
to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay
attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate
Mobile Communication Equipment such as cell phones,
text messaging devices, pagers, or two-way radios.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly ammable and gasoline
vapor is explosive. Never smoke while
working on vehicle. Keep all open ames
away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up
any spilled gasoline immediately.

labeling, including Material Safety
Data Sheet requirements.
MATERIAL WEIGHTS
Density
Material (lb/ft3)(lb/yd3)(kg/m3)
Salt 80 2160 1282
Sand 100 2700 1602
Material densities are approximate and are based on dry,
loose material. It is the responsibility of the operator to
know the weight of the material to be spread and the vehicle
carrying capacity.
Weight of spreader and mount must be added to
struck material weight to determine total spreader
weight. Do not exceed maximum material capacity
as shown on the safety label (see Safety section).
Use only bagged rock salt with the spreader.
Other forms of spreading material are not
compatible with the tailgate spreader.
NOTE: If spreader and ice control material loading
is in doubt, weigh vehicle for compliance with
vehicle ratings.
WARNING
The use of under-frame or in-bed mounts on
half-ton trucks is restricted to spreading only
salt or calcium chloride. (Max. 80 lb per cu ft.)
Failure to comply could result in exceeding
the payload capacity.

MOUNTING THE SPREADER
Drop Utility Mount Installation
Installation instructions can vary, depending on
which type of UTV you own. Particular uitlity vehicle
installation instructions follow.
NOTE: Pay special attention when drilling or
clamping dissimilar metals to aluminum bodies.
Galvanic corrosion can occur if not handled
properly. Contact vehicle manufacturer for
recommended attachment practices.
NOTE: Remove any existing trailer hitch and other
after-market equipment that may interfere with
the installation of this product according to these
instructions.
Kawasaki® Mule™ 550 Utility Vehicle
1. Temporarily remove the tailgate. Remove the bed
liner if equipped.
2. Attach the support rails to the spreader
mount using two 1/2" x 2-1/2" cap screws and
1/2" washers. Install the cap screws with washers
through the rail rst, then through the spreader
mount. Install the 1/2" locknut and tighten.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Overtightening may
crush the mounting rail.
3. Place the mounting rail hats over the mounting
rails and install the hitch pins. Locate the spreader
bracket mounting rails on top of the bed by
centering left to right and positioning the rear
edge of the rails 5/8" beyond the rear of the bed.
Transfer the mounting holes to the bed. Check
for proper clearance underneath the bed before
drilling and drill 7/16" holes.
4. Fasten the rails under belt with truss head screws,
fender washers, SAE washers, and locknuts.
Install the spreader bracket before tightening
hardware. The tailgate and bed liner may be
reinstalled now.
5. Install the 550 anti dump bracket with the two
3/8" x 1" cap screws provided.
6. Install the gate control cable per the attached
instructions.
7. Route cables at your discretion and install the
switch.
Kawasaki Mule 2500 Utility Vehicle
Follow the instructions for installation on the Mule 550
utility vehicle with the following differences:
1. When positioning the mounting rails, the end of
the rail should be 1/2" forward of the rear edge of
the bed.
2. The universal anti dump threads into the lower
weld nut on the spreader bracket assembly. Adjust
rubber bumper to be 1/2"–3/4" behind the rear
axle-receiver hitch assembly.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes, check to be sure that no
vehicle wiring or other components could be
damaged.
